jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 12/21/2018 4:18 pm Going to muddy the waters with this for Coin 1, but how about an anonymous AE Roman quadrans? http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear...tml#Syd_0106 http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/rsc/...d_0106.1.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

Republican coins are not my area, but am I correct in saying that AE quadrans don't typically have these features? Report this Post to the Staff
xoduspbc Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 12/21/2018 5:13 pm Based on the thickness of the coin and what bob stated, I'm almost certain it is a Greek coin. I want to say that looks like the prow of a galley or maybe it's the bowcase & club reverse? Report this Post to the Staff

I agree it's likely a prow, but there are depictions of quivers that are somewhat similar. For example: Edited by Kamnaskires 12/21/2018 5:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
